Analysis:
This is a concurrent resolution calling on various agencies of the Federal Government to complete the Yazoo Backwater Pump Project. The state is calling for a massive increase in the cost and scope of government that is out of line with what ought to be the government’s priorities.

Analysis:
This resolution would add the question "Shall Mississippi establish a program to allow the medical use of marijuana products by qualified persons with debilitating medical conditions?" to the ballot for direct vote by the people. This is being offered by the legislature as an alternative to Ballot Initiative No. 65 which reads, "Should Mississippi allow qualified patients with debilitating medical conditions, as certified by Mississippi licensed physicians, to use medical marijuana?" Mississippi voters, if this resolution passes, would be required to choose between the two. The initiative being offered by the state legislature is much more restrictive than the initiative approved for the ballot by signatures, and would only serve to confuse voters and, if passed, create a medical marijuana program much less effective than the one currently on the ballot.

Analysis:
This bill eliminates the position of mail carrier and distributor for the legislature and de-funds the upkeep of the legislative post-office room. The elimination of government functions that are not completely necessary saves the taxpayer's money.
